lyrics

Almost Black
(Words and Music by Manuel Calvo Kamper)

Bright and beauty come out of me
It is my destiny to be like that
Once upon a time I was dark
But the earth didn’t want it to be

His survival depends on me
Also born on the same earth
The young me is what he has to wear
Dark he is and he will ever be

Now their desire
Of having me
Is causing
His suffering
They’re my slaves
As he’s theirs
Although he never wished for it

My power is my beauty
Their power is keeping him weak
I’m so fortunate so fortunate
That my color changed to this
They enjoy me for my presence
But hate him for his
I’m so fortunate so fortunate
That I’m just almost black

Sometimes they call me precious
Sometimes they call him disgusting
I don’t understand I really don’t
At the end I’m not more that just a thing
His skin is soft mine is hard
He can feel pain I cannot
They make him bleed to dead
Despite I’m one of the strongest things on earth

My power is my beauty
Their power is keeping him weak
I’m so fortunate so fortunate
That my color changed to this
They enjoy me for my presence
But hate him for his
I’m so fortunate so fortunate
That I’m just almost black
Because I’m almost black

Now their desire
Of having me
Is causing
His suffering
They’re my slaves
As he’s theirs
Although he never wished for it

My power is my beauty
Their power is keeping him weak
I’m so fortunate so fortunate
That my color changed to this
They enjoy me for my presence
But hate him for his
I’m so fortunate so fortunate
That I’m just almost black… almost black

Because I’m almost black
Because I’m almost black
Because I’m almost black
